Official press release:

Suicide Silence are proud to announce that they have inked a deal with Nuclear Blast Entertainment, the new division of Nuclear Blast formed by Nuclear Blast owner Markus Staiger and former Roadrunner A&R chief, Monte Conner. As one of the leaders of the extreme modern metal movement, it is only fitting that their new home be one of the biggest metal labels on the planet. It's a union that is sure to bring much success to both parties in the not so distant future.

"I've been following Suicide Silence since their debut album and immediately grew to love their music," commented Nuclear Blast CEO, Markus Staiger. "I knew we had to work with this amazing band and today is the day to finally welcome one of the most brutal bands on Earth to the Nuclear Blast family. The next Suicide Silence album will no doubt push boundaries once again."

"I am thrilled to have such an innovative and unique band like Suicide Silence as the first signing to Nuclear Blast Entertainment," added NBE President Monte Conner. "Even though I was totally blown away by their last album, The Black Crown, I am certain the band's best music is still ahead of them."

Guitarist Mark Heylmun commented:

"I and all of Suicide Silence are proud to announce that we have signed a worldwide deal with the one and only Nuclear Blast. It wasn't a tough decision, Nuclear Blast has been a huge part of heavy metal for decades and we couldn't be happier. This is a new beginning for us and we're ready as all hell! Let Chapter 2 begin now!"

"I am beyond stoked to be signing to the sickest of all heavy metal record labels," continues bassist Dan Kenny. "It has been a dream of mine since I was a youngster with Nuclear Blast posters on my bedroom wall"

North American Label Manager Gerardo Martinez concluded:

"It's pretty amazing when you hear Suicide Silence talk about the Nuclear Blast bands they love. It puts all of us on the same level - we are all music fans here. Super stoked to be a part of history with this Californian bunch!"
